Claiming credits

If you're registered for GST and WET, you can claim WET credits through your BAS. You must do this within four years from the day after you were required to lodge your BAS for the tax period in which the WET credit arises.

If you're not registered for GST (and are not required to be) you can use an Application for refund of wine equalisation tax to claim WET credits you're entitled to. You can only claim if the total amount of credit claimed is $200 or more. You must provide supporting documents and lodge your claim within four years of when the WET credit entitlement arose.
